 offers a flexible way to upload and manage any file or binary within Cloudsmith. This release includes 

, enabling teams to fetch assets from external sources that don’t fit into standard package ecosystems.

This brings your custom scripts, installers, and zipped binaries into your managed supply chain, automating ingestion and ensuring that your internal URLs remain consistent with upstream sources.

The Generic format is designed for artifacts that rely on specific file paths rather than semantic versions. By using the filepath as the unique identifier, this format allows you to mirror the exact directory structures of external sources (like a raw Apache file server or a Gradle distribution) directly within Cloudsmith.

 Use filepaths as unique identifiers to replicate upstream directory structures exactly as they exist at the source.

Proxy & cache from upstream repositories:

 Securely fetch and cache files from external sources, creating a more secure and reliable internal supply chain.

 We merge local packages and cached upstream files into a single, browsable HTML index.

 Prevent file collisions between multiple upstreams by assigning unique path prefixes (e.g., gradle_distributions/) to keep assets distinct.

The Generic format connects to a wide variety of sources via three primary methods:

 Connects to any simple, unstyled HTML directory (no JavaScript) to index and download files. Works out-of-the-box for sources like 

 We offer specialized handlers for specific ecosystems, including 

 that use JavaScript rendering, we support integration via their APIs. 

Note: Due to the variability of these environments, these upstreams require a dedicated configuration. Please contact us to help set this up.

. You can begin using it today by creating a new repository and selecting "Generic" as the format type for upload.

Builds are now faster with support for parallel artifact uploads during 

Maven 3.9.12 enabled parallel deployment by default, which previously caused a race condition resulting in incomplete packages or synchronization errors. We updated our platform to support these concurrent requests, ensuring stability and reducing total build times.

This update is active for all customers using Maven 3.9.12 or later. No configuration changes are required.

Support for Maven parallel deployment

Public Broadcasts make it easier than ever to deliver software to your end users through a branded, trustworthy, and developer-friendly distribution experience.

Broadcasts allow you to distribute artifacts directly from your Cloudsmith repositories using a polished, customizable user interface that reflects your brand, integrates with native developer tooling, and provides visibility into how your software is being adopted.

 Present your software through an interface that matches your company’s identity. Use your logo, colors, and a custom domain to ensure end users experience a familiar, professional interface when deciding to install your software.

 Eliminate the guesswork from distribution. Gain real-time insights into which versions are being downloaded and how adoption trends change over time.

 Broadcasts integrate seamlessly with native developer tooling, allowing users to fetch packages via their preferred CLI or CI/CD tools—no friction, no workarounds.

 Turn any existing Cloudsmith repository into a professional public distribution portal in seconds. No need to build, host, or maintain custom download pages.

Since the initial Early Access release, we’ve added several features to further refine the distribution experience:

, including architecture and distribution information, is now available on Broadcasts.

 with improved installation documentation to help users get started faster.

, making it easier to share open-source projects and artifacts.

Cloudsmith now provides a reference implementation guide for Amazon SageMaker. This resource demonstrates how to utilize Cloudsmith as a secure, central hub for the Hugging Face models, Docker images, and Python packages required for machine learning workflows.

AI/ML supply chains are often fragmented; relying on unmanaged public sources for models and dependencies introduces security risks and build instability. This guide provides a blueprint for moving ML artifacts into a private, governed environment without disrupting the SageMaker development experience.

This release provides a reusable set of instructions and scripts designed to be embedded directly into your existing SageMaker workflows.

 Use Cloudsmith to proxy and cache Hugging Face models, ensuring consistent availability for SageMaker training jobs.

 Consolidate Python packages and Docker containers within Cloudsmith to create a single source of truth for SageMaker environments.

 Implementation examples cover how to configure SageMaker to authenticate and fetch artifacts securely during execution.

A crucial part of effective package management is package distribution. Whether you are dealing with distributed teams or deploying global applications, you need efficient, reliable delivery - anywhere in the world.

To support this, we are continuing to expand our global footprint and are now live in Tokyo.

: We have upgraded our edge infrastructure in APAC. Unlike standard CDNs, Cloudsmith’s PDN is context-aware and optimized specifically for software artifacts.

: Users and build pipelines in Asia will experience faster throughput.

: We now handle authentication logic directly at the Tokyo edge node. This significantly reduces round-trip times for "chatty" protocols (like Maven, NuGet, or Docker) by validating credentials locally rather than routing back to the origin.

: For organizations with strict data residency requirements, you can now explicitly select Tokyo as your storage region. This ensures your data rests physically within Japan, satisfying local compliance needs.

The Tokyo region is available when creating a new repository, and all customers will automatically experience the performance benefits of our expanded PDN.

This update to the Cloudsmith CLI introduces programmatic management for Policy Deny Rules, standardizes pagination parameters across the CLI, and upgrades core dependencies.

The CLI now supports full lifecycle management for Policy Deny Rules, enabling tighter integration with infrastructure-as-code workflows. Users can list, create, update, and delete deny policies directly via the command line.

You can now download auto-generated Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for your Docker and OCI images directly from the Cloudsmith web app. This allows you to instantly export supply chain data for use in analysis tools or alongside release documentation.

Previously, SBOMs generated by Cloudsmith were only accessible via the 

. Instead of scripting an API call to retrieve the manifest for a specific image, you can now grab the 

 file with a single click, making SBOMs accessible to a broader range of users.

Downloads are provided in CycloneDX format.

This feature applies only to SBOMs automatically generated by Cloudsmith during the container image synchronization process.

Cloudsmith automatically generates SBOMs for Docker V2 and OCI V1 images.

With this update, Cloudsmith provides more comprehensive observability into your software supply chain. By surfacing requests that result in an error alongside successful ones, your team gains a centralized view of system health, making it easier to spot trends and resolve issues quickly.
